Removals
Ede Bros provides comprehensive removals services for households across the UK and internationally. Our experienced team handles every aspect from initial survey to final delivery, using modern vehicles and protective equipment. We offer flexible options including full packing services, partial assistance, or self-packing support with loaned materials. Our staff receive regular training to maintain high standards of care and efficiency, ensuring fragile items and large furniture are transported safely. With coverage from Cornwall to Scotland, we manage moves of all sizes, including properties with challenging access requirements.
Storage
Our on-site warehouse facilities in Capel provide secure short and long-term storage solutions for household contents. Items are inventoried, insured, and stored in controlled conditions with weekly charging based on volumetric capacity. We offer containerised storage options for larger consignments, with handling charges applying for partial access during storage periods. The service includes coordination for sale/purchase chain breaks, building work clearances, and decluttering needs, while excluding perishable or hazardous materials.
Overseas Removals
Ede Bros facilitates international removals to global destinations, managing packing, export preparation, and shipping coordination. We work with trusted trade partners to deliver household goods worldwide, providing guidance through necessary paperwork and customs requirements. While no longer offering dedicated European part-load services, we maintain connections with reliable partners for continental deliveries. Our expertise ensures compliance with international shipping regulations while maintaining the same high standards of care as domestic moves.
Packing Services
We offer tailored packing solutions ranging from complete household packing to specific item protection. Our loaned cartons and specialist materials include floor protectors, TV covers, and wardrobe containers for hanging clothes. The service accommodates time-constrained clients or those needing help with fragile items, with optional collection of used materials post-move. Our trained staff use systematic packing techniques to optimise space and safety, with particular expertise in handling antiques, fine arts, and large instruments like grand pianos.
Containerised Storage
Our containerised storage uses standardised wooden units (7ft x 7ft x 5ft) transported by specialist vehicles. Containers are fork-lifted into warehouse storage positions, with inventory tracking for contents management. This solution suits larger household moves requiring extended storage periods, though partial access may incur handling charges. The service integrates with our removals operations, providing seamless transition between storage and delivery phases while maintaining strict security protocols for stored possessions.

Report
I can't recommend Ede Brothers enough. I was doing a big downsize and after 37 years in my previous home, it was pretty emotional. Lee and Jenny were incredibly helpful from beginning to end, giving me reassurance and courage. They helped me understand that everything was possible and with their quiet professionalism, responsiveness and energy it was! Their pre and post support was second to none and the Crew over the move - Tony, Neil, James, Henry and Matt were cheerful and careful which makes all the difference during the stress of a move.
They were like family by the end of the 5 day marathon and I was sorry to see them go. I truly couldn't have done it without them. I have used Ede Bros for other small jobs over the years and I would honestly never use anyone else. They are genuinely the best.

Everyone I came into contact with at Ede Bros made the move as stress-free as possible. We had to postpone dates a number of times due to delays down the chain, and Sophie and Lee were helpful every time. On the day, the team were incredibly professional - everything was packed carefully and transported (including a piano and organ) and delivered, ready for the first night. I would highly recommend Ede Bros.

An absolutely fantastic family run business. I knew we were in safe hands the moment they came around to price the job, carefully checking each room in order to understand exactly what would be required for the move. On the day, Ede brothers packed down and moved us to our new home effortlessly. It was the smoothest and most stress free process about our move. Our solicitors took a while to release the money on the day making the Ede guys wait 4.5 hours before we were able to collect our keys and move us in.
Even after the wait, Ede moved our belongings in to our new home and into all the right rooms with the upmost care and attention. Very happy with the service. If we find ourselves moving in the future, we will certainly be using Ede to move us!
